The biggest advantage is that you can spot errors immediately in the simulation, and you don't have to go back to the drawing board every time. In addition, you can start programming right from the design table, resulting in a significantly shorter time to market.
The servo drives enable interpolation from the PLC, and the frequency control ensures that the speed of the milling head can be accurately determined. By using digital twin technology from Siemens, the CDC Automatisering team managed to drastically reduce the engineering time. For CDC, the project marked an important milestone in working with digital twin technology.
